We got there right when the restaurant opened, and we were fortunate enough to get a seat on the patio. The restaurant wasn't very busy while we were there, but I'm assuming it got a lot busier for dinner. The view was absolutely incredible! Our server was awesome and took pictures of my husband and I when we asked. My husband ordered the Branzino and I had the linguini with clams. Both dishes were super tasty and I loved the al dente cook on my pasta. We shared a bottle of rose and had the best time enjoying Mallorca. I would definitely recommend this place!

Everything is made fresh in that kitchen...no cans or frozen packages...or processed foods, so everything is made FRESH to order!!! The smells are simply devine and intoxicating! Sit back relax and enjoy a starter such as the smooth burrata with tomatoes and crostini. If you're into risotto, then order the mushroom and chicken risotto, but you better bring a partner or two!!! Be prepared to wait for this dish as it authentically cooked, which simply means you have time to get to know one another a little better. I simply loved the food.

We tried the bruschetta and burrata to start ( which was some of the best I've ever had). The mushroom truffle Pasta was a stand out dish, and the others just didn't compare.

After at first asking for a recommendation from the waiter (who later turned out to be the manager), I was told a certain pasta was good. He asked if I wanted some truffle to accompany it, to which I said yes. The pasta was very plain and certainly not special. Then the bill comes.... 19€ for the pasta and 10€ extra for the truffle... I couldn't believe my eyes. This felt like a plain case of deliberate deception to squeeze money out of foreign clients. If this is a special (not on the menu) surely they should be mentioning a 10€ supplement, especially if it's a recommendation from the manager. I won't be returning

Never have I been served a more flavorless baked chicken dish. I had assumed there'd be something…read moreItalian about it. But no. I had assumed there'd be something tasty about it. No again. I'm not saying it was bad, no. I am saying it had no flavor. I ordered it on Sept 22 because I love baked or roasted chicken in fine restaurants. (In Seattle where I live, I can name those restaurants.) But this dish was fantastically "neutral." Zero. Nothing. I said so and asked for flavor -- a sauce. I got a warmed vinaigrette, which helped. (Vinaigrettes always can: the bright acid, the soothing olive oil, and of course the salt.) But still. How good can any other dish here be if the test case, the chicken, fails so badly?

Bossa Nova is run by the most wonderful and charming couple and the rest of the staff is equally, if not more, pleasant. If you let them take care of you, you will enjoy the food very much, even though on its own it would probably deserve a 3/5. We had a seafood spaghetti to share as a primi, with a very nice sauce and a good variety of seafood; shrimp, mussels, vongole, cod and more. Pasta was al dente. For a main dish we had pork scaloppine and saltimbocca. Meat was tender, while the sauces had decent taste, but slightly lumpy. There is also a set lunch menu that is very good value for money! Not a big selection of wine on offer (just a red, white and rosé). All in all, if you just want to wind down and feel some genuine warmth while out and about in the more touristy parts of Palma old town, this is the place to do it. The food is also quite comforting!

But why a rough diamond? Its a father and son and that's it. (Two of the nicest, "salt of the Earth" people you will ever meet. From a small town in Italy. Somewhere in Piedmont). They are in a tiny...mmm...less than luxurious place. Plastic cutlery, plastic cups, plastic tables, sketchy bathroom...the contrast between the food and ambience truly creates one of the most interesting dining experiences that could possibly exist on this Earth. Expect to wait forever for your food. Its worth it. Relax. Leave your ego at the door- if you are rude, in a hurry, or demanding, you probably won't get a table. There are probably only about 10 tables total, and it's always full, so if you want to eat, get there early. The food can't be understated, honestly if you put them in a nicer place, they would probably have a few Michelin stars.

We ordered so many different kinds of pasta dishes including their lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs and other delicious dishes I can't recall that the others ordered. Everyone absolutely LOVED their entrees. The flavors and preparation were perfect. Every bite was delightful. The tiramisu was also fantastic! Service from our waiter was also extraordinary as he was friendly, kind and so genuinely caring and attentive. The table we had, right inside but bordering the outside tables was an ideal spot to people watch, but have the comforts of the dining room. We even met the owner and head chef, Michele himself who was at an outside table overseeing the dinner service. We had the most wonderful experience here and highly recommend to all. We will be back next time we're in Palma!!
